Year of New Beer: Magic Beaver Belgian Pale Ale, Lickinghole Creek Craft Brewery (VA)

Written By: Dion on 04/09/2015

Herbs and spices pair with an earthy yeast on the nose, with additional traces of tart fruits and cut grasses.  On the tongue, notes of banana, coriander, and clove lead the way to candied fruits and an ever increasing hop bitterness.  A saison-like peppery kick rides through a crisp, dry finish.  Much hoppier than a traditional Belgian Pale, but I enjoyed this immensely.
